    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SECAUCUS, NJ, March 29, 2007 -- German Racecar is hot, and he's working hard to get his team to the playoffs. Meanwhile Little Emperor lords over the East and his team just clinched a postseason spot.

    Hold on, hold on, what are you talking about? Who is German Racecar? Little Emperor? Well, let us explain: those are NBA players' nicknames in China.

    "German Racecar" is Dirk Nowitzki, his ability to roll on court like a racecar, and he is, of course, from Germany. Meanwhile, China's Little Emperor is our "King James." For instance, do you want to know why Tim Duncan is called Stone Buddha? Scroll down. And while you're there check out the 10 Chinese nicknames we picked for you to vote on in our poll. </div>

    Poor Melo. Everyone gets cool nicknames having to do with their strength in basketball, and he gets his nickname from his 'cute'/'sweet' appeearance and because his name resembles melon.
